With nine locations across London, no matter where you are in the city, you can get your meaty fix at Burger & Lobster. Made from 100% Nebraskan family-farmed beef, you’ll be blown away by the quality of the beef burgers on offer at this bar and restaurant, which is just jam-packed full of personality.

Launched in Mayfair by four schoolmates in 2011, their goal
was a simple one; to open a restaurant where the focus was on perfecting just
one or two main ingredients. Since then, Burger & Lobster has been bringing
the freshest live, wild Atlantic lobsters and prime cut Nebraskan burgers to
some of the most electric locations across the world, with nine sites in
London, two in New York, and a further four in Bangkok, Dubai, Genting and
Kuwait City.

Burger & Lobster uses American beef due to its high percentage of inter-muscular far, which when made into a burger, evenly renders throughout the patty, stopping the burger from shrinking and keeping the meat juicy and flavoursome. Whether you choose The Original, comprised of a beef patty with lettuce, tomato, house-made pickles, onions and B&L’s secret burger sauce, The B&L Burger, comprised of a beef patty topped with grilled lobster meat, Brie, truffle and tarragon mayo, fennel and Chinese cabbage, The Smoked Burger, made from select cuts of American beef, infused with smoked salt, thyme and a hint of paprika, topped with oak-smoked Cheddar, or The Black Bean Burger, comprised of a black bean patty with Portobello mushroom, chimichurri, relish, lettuce and pickles, you’ll wonder why you ever wasted your money at fast-food chains when you could have been eating here.

With locations in Exeter, Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Truro, Taunton, and Pentewan, those looking for American-inspired street food in a trendy, upbeat restaurant need look no further than Hubbox.

Boasting an extensive menu of award-winning gourmet burgers made using 21 day dry-aged Cornish rare breed beef, and New York-style hot dogs made using 100% free-range oak smoked pork, along with salads, nachos, hand-cut and double-fried fries, and a specials menu of dishes cooked on the charcoal barbecue grill, if you want to feast on a fantastic selection of feel-good comfort food, you will find what you’re looking for at Hubbox.

Bringing a classic taste of New England to the centre of Nottingham, Annie’s Burger Shack prides itself on serving the best burgers in town, all served on a toasted sesame bun with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato and mayonnaise, and your choice of fries or wedges.

Every recipe on the menu can be adapted to make it vegan or vegetarian, incorporating mouth-watering, tried-and-tested alternatives that do not compromise on flavour.

Their most popular choice is perhaps The Bacon Cheddar burger, topped with bacon and melted
American-style Cheddar cheese, but if you’re a blue cheese fan you might want
to opt for their Bacon Blues burger
instead, topped with two thick slices of bacon and generous chunks of the tastiest
blue cheese.
